“They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.”
Psalms 59:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 59:6
The imagery of enemies as dogs 'that return at evening' depicts scavengers emboldened by darkness. Dogs in ancient Israel were unclean scavengers, not pets, making this a degrading comparison. 'Grin' (Hebrew 'hamah'—growl/moan) captures their menacing presence. Comparing wicked men to dogs anticipates Christ's warning against giving holy things to dogs (Matthew 7:6).
